Greetings from the Chair:
Women's March in D.C.
January 29, 2019
The Women's March in D.C. was a great success, although we were blocked from marching to our destination of the U.S, Capitol building. It was very cold for D.C. but the turnout was energetic and the program was well organized.
My iPhone failed and I don't have pictures, but I wanted to share this memento from having met the resistance sister who created the pussy hat; she brought us this page from our history.
On to our next victory in April's State Supreme Court election.

Chair's Message - A week out:
November 12, 2018
It has been a week of reflection on wins and losses and a week of gratitude for comrades—each and every voter; every volunteer from the HQ’s to doorsteps to phones and postcard writing; and for those who worked each and every day recruiting, messaging, and collaborating.
We acknowledge what looked like and continues to look like an exceptional slate of candidates. It is easy to support such worthy, prepared, and exemplary candidates from the Statehouse, the top State posts, our Senator, our House candidate, and our State Assembly candidate. The obvious wisdom in supporting each and every one of you energized each and every effort we made.
Our County Party community can gather itself to relax a bit and respect one another in this election cycle effort. I experienced the election through the Eagle River Headquarters; the GOTV effort was nothing short of stellar. We welcomed volunteers during those last four days from around the eastern part of our county, some on Tuesday for the first time, and others for the fourth week-end in a row. We were unified in principles and action, and constantly encouraged one another! Despite sometimes working without cut turfs, we persevered to contact hundreds of voters to let them know they count and that we all depend on one another.
Once we’re a bit relaxed, it will be time to turn to the off-year (is there such a thing anymore?) efforts of fund-raising and member recruitment. But there are other things to reflect on beyond the usual ones: we must be vigilant in following the court cases surrounding redistricting; it would be a shame to send more candidates like Margaret and Chris out into that morass of prejudicial mapping. It will also never be too soon to take what we learned this cycle and think about how we should unite as a county Democratic and Progressive community to organize for 2020!! And we will not forget to participate in the effort to bring the Democratic National Convention to Milwaukee. We have a superb chance to land the Convention and this will add greatly to turning our State blue again.
In solidarity, Jane Nicholson, Acting Chair, VCDP
